tom.mitsui@nagoya-u.jpPlease note that the first week of May has consecutive holidays of Japan. This means an inquiry in the week might be responded slowly.

*Equipments for presentation
LOC of the conference will prepare the following equipments for presentation at each conference room.A speaker who wishes to present his/her talk via a PC is recommended to make a complete file for presentation and to test a connection between PC and video-projector prior to his/her talk.
- video-projector (beam-projector) connectible with a PC
- OHP (over-head projector)
- laser-pointer
- white-board
*Hotel reservations
According to the application of the registered participants, our travel agent, JTB, is carrying out assignments of hotel rooms for each applicant. The result is being informed via fax one after another.
However, please note that the number of available hotel rooms will be quite tight as a whole around the conference period. The main difficulty arises from the fact that now an international big event, EXPO'05, is being held near by Nagoya, and the hotels do not want to release rooms easily. Every weekend are under a bad condition in particular.
Already some of participants have expressed their worries upon JTB's pre-information. LOC is keeping a close contact with JTB, and they said that they would do their best and never neglect the reservations outside of the conference period. In a case you will have to move hotels, but we believe they can eventually manage the problem.
If you feel any difficulties, please contact us. We will help you as much as possible.
We are looking forward to receiving you in Nagoya.
On behalf of LOC,
